Aereo Again Beats TV Networks’ Bid to Shut It Down
Posted in: UncategorizedThe major broadcast networks failed to persuade an appeals court to shut down Aereo Inc., the Barry Diller-backed online TV service that they claim violates their copyrights.
Broadcasters including Walt Disney Co.’s ABC and Comcast’s NBC unsuccessfully petitioned the U.S. Court of Appeals in New York to overturn a lower-court order denying a preliminary injunction that would have put New York-based Aereo out of business.
“Plaintiffs have not demonstrated that they are likely to prevail on the merits on this claim in their copyright infringement action,” the appellate judges said in the opinion.
